arns muss. These are short pipes a. foot ong, made of corn stalk. They look like a. fclarionet without keys, and make a similar "noise. The woman who accompanies the group and plays the tambourine, is a. buxom Italian of the peasant type. She dresses in a bright-colored skirt and waist, aud‘wears a colored silk handkerchief on her head. She is the wife of the sampogna. player. All the players come from Abruzzi, in Italy, where nearly evrey one plays the sampoana or corna muss. They begin to play the pipes when they are children Just able to blow strong enough to make sound. Then they are trained in the art and reared to become wandering musicians. A pecular feature of the music is that it is composed by the players themselves, and they have no regular airs, but simply play whatever sounds pleasant to themselves. The coma. musa‘s players do this while the sampogns keeps up his bass droning and crashes in with bass drum, and cymbals. and triangle whenever he gets a favorable opportunity. This seems to occur often in , is opinion, for he bangs away indiscrimin- tely and at times with the energy of a. c nvict driven in the treadmill. The action is somewhat similar. The woman thumps tambourine until aerowd forms, then moves around soliciting Coppers. The uni orms worn by the musicians are the as those in use in the Italian infantry. The coat and trousers are of dark geen ed with red, and the hats are low cro ned and oval shaped, with straight bri. s and a. bunch of green featherscurling ove the top like a rooster’ tail. % Thereare two other men who play the The chief of the newly arrived musicians plays what is known in Italian as the sam- pogna, or shepherd’s bagpipe. It consists of the whole skin of a. sheep or goat which '5 made air tight by tying up the aper- tures in the skin. The reeds which are ttached are fashioned from corn‘stslks 'o nd.iron keys are crudely fastened to the r eds. The sampogna drunes out asonor- s accompaniment to the come muse, as he pipe played by the other performers is lied. The ssmpogna player hasa. bass rum attached to his bagpipe. The drum sa small-sized one, striped around the im with red and green, and bearing the ational cost of arms of Italy. ‘l‘he drum as cymbals and a triangle on top of it, hich are worked by a. string passing hxough the body of the drum and attach- ed to the heel of the player. At the close of oneof the races at theGreve- send, N. Y.,Lrack on Saturday a young man presented a. mute] ticket to Scalper Thomas “'aldron for payment. The scalpel- noticed that the check number at the bot- m of the ticket was somewhat blurred. e gave the young man the money equival- nt and then had him arrested. \Vhen earched at the police station over 200 old ickets were found in his pockets. His plan was to look through his stock _. the close of a race and on finding a. ticket the same color and pattern as the win- ig one. to cut the numbers from other ti keta of alike color and pattern to corresc pqnd to the winning ticket and glue them on the bogus one. I, is said that hundreds of dollars have he 11 paid out on these fraudulent tickets duxfing the present meeting. ,The population of Peru under the Incas was :welve times greater than it is 00-day. \tht makes this giant doubly interest- ing is the fact that he is a heardless youth and nothing more than a preposter- ously overgrown "kid." He is only 16 years old now, and how tall he will be when he reaches his maturity is a. matter of speculation. Hassan Ali, which is the name of the youngster, stands nearly seven feet high just at present. He grows a cen- timeter or so every week. He is perfectly healthy and is not at all had looking, though his features are rather coarse. He has a goal Appetite and eats and drinks fully as much as three full grown men. His hand from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist measures nearly thirteen inches in length, and is proportionately broad and envy. Ali is by no means a. Cinderella as f r as feet are concerned. these being i keeping with the rest of his body a. d molded on a. heroic scale. This y (mg giant is really splendidly proportion- edl and appears to be enjoying the very be t of health. He is dressed with regal ma. nificence, and the cut of his multi- cnlo ed silken robes aid to lengthen his app arance. lie is of a cheerful, childish disp sition, and has not as yet been able to mastler any of the harsh guttural words of German language. The Sammann Player flu Made Ills Way Io This Country. Anew street nuisance has arrived in this country in the shape of a. band of Italian musicians, recently forced to leave France because of the prejudice against their race due to the assassination of President Car- not by Csserio, who abhor the organ and essay to delight the ear with more musical. i more primitive, instruments, which they play with skill. The verv latest "‘ the world of freaks, as for as giants are concerned, has recently been discovered in Arabia. A (German Dro- iessor, travelling in that country, chanced to run across this tremendously elongated specimen of man in a caravan that pitched its tents in the oasis of Siwah-Amons. The professor, at once recognizing how appreci- ated both by scientists and the public at large would be this “tall palm of the des- ert,” as the giant was called by his compan- iOns, at once opened negotiations with a View to bringing him to Europe. After no end of trouble the bargain was closed and a contract drawn upby which the giant agreed to exhibit himself under the direction of his discoverer. TALLEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Sixteen-yearn"! Arab \Vho Stands Seven Feet and Is Still Growing. A Race Track Swindle A NEW FIEND. Mr. Lahiahenéliy is a Hebrew. ' He was born tWenty-two years ago in the land of the Czar, where the Jews are much perae~ outed. Five years ago, alone and almost penniless, he left his native land and sought, a home in America. finally locating in Chicago in 189l. He had learned tailoring, in Russia. and at 21-1 Jackson boulevard he started a little repairing shop about five mo‘nths ago. On Friday, Aug. 10, W. Ronhenberg. s. customer of Mr. Lahishensky, came into the shop and chanced to show two one- twenbieth tickets in the Honduras National Lottery (Louisiana State Lottery) which he had purchased for 50 cents. Mr. Lahish. ensky ofi'ered to take one of them, more as a. jest than ought else, and was given One of the slips, for which he gun Mr. Rothen- enberg 25 cents. The drawing took p’ace on Aug. 14 and Mr. Lanishensky was surprised that the number on his tiCket, 18,172, had drawn the second capital prize of $20,000. He presented his ticket and lasbweek received acheck icr SLODO, being the one-twentieth to which he was entitled. There is no use in fooling with neuralgia.

Lahishensky was a. poor, struggling young tailor, at ‘214 Jackson boulevard. To-day he is one of the happiest men in Chicago, for dame fortune has smiled upon him in a most substantial way and he is the proud possessor of quite a comfortable bank account. _ It. happened ill this way: The particulars of a remarkable cure of consumption, after the patient had reached the last stages. related in the article pub- lished in last week’s issue under the head- ing “An Open Letter from a Prominent Physician,” has caused much comment. It is well known that physicians, as arule, are averse to speaking words of praise for an advertised medicine, however meritorious it may be, and when one of them casts this prejudice aside and gives in plain unvar- nished language the particulars of a case that must take rank among the most re- markable in the practice of medicine, it is rot ,only a. noteworthy triumph for the medicine in question, but also reflects credit on the physician who has cast aside his professional prejudice and gives the result of his use of the medicine for the benefit of suflering humanity. In the articles pu'n- lished from time to time, vouched for by reliable newspapers, the public has had the strongest evidence that Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People is a medicine of re- markable merit, and now to these is added on the authority ofawell-known physician, over his signature, the particulars of a cure of consumption through the timely use of Dr. \Villiams' famous Pink Pills. It cannot be too widely known theta. remedy has been found that will cure this hitherto deadly and unconquered disease, and if any of our readers have not read the article to which we refer we would advise them to look up last week's issue and give it a careful per- usal. The facts related may prove of valu- able assistance in a time of need.
